Farizon Auto

What Farizon Auto does

Farizon Auto (远程汽车) is the new energy commercial vehicle subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, headquartered in Hangzhou, China and operating five specialized manufacturing bases across Nanchong, Shangrao, Ma'anshan, Zibo, and Xiangtan. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a full-spectrum lineup of new energy commercial vehicles spanning heavy-duty trucks (Star Han H methanol-electric, Star Han G pure electric, X7M), light trucks (H8E, H8M methanol range-extended, F3E, Star Smart T), mini trucks (F1E), vans (Super VAN, V6E, V6E Plus, V7E, V8E with cargo volumes from 6 to 13.2 cubic meters), and electric/hydrogen buses (C8E-C12E, C8F-C12F, U11E/U11F). Underlying technology rests on two powertrain pathways—pure electric and methanol-electric (醇氢电动)—built around proprietary platforms including the GXA-M drive-by-wire architecture (world's first mass-produced for vans, German E1 certified), GXA-T for trucks, Xuanwu (玄武) LFP batteries with CTP-S cell-to-pack integration and 10-year/800,000km warranty, and Zhuque (朱雀) integrated electric drive axles. Farizon also develops Level 4 autonomous vehicles including the Robotaxi GXR (with WeRide) and Farizon Robovan for autonomous delivery.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct dealers and channel partners across 64 countries, complemented by OEM supply arrangements with autonomous mobility operators. Domestic distribution spans 500+ service stations across 10 Chinese regions supported by an automotive finance center providing nearly 10 billion RMB in inventory financing to 200+ dealers through partnerships with eight financial institutions. International distribution relies on named channel partners (Jameel Motors UK/Australia, Emil Frey Group Switzerland, CPD Bodies in Northeast England, Alltrucks Germany, Admiral Mobility UAE) and an expanding right-hand drive demonstration footprint in Hong Kong. Revenue is generated primarily through unit sales of commercial vehicles (manufacturer-suggested retail prices ranging from 113,900 RMB for entry-level mini trucks up to 267,800 RMB for the H8M methanol range-extended truck, with heavy trucks higher), augmented by aftermarket service, parts, and an emerging autonomous mobility services revenue stream tied to WeRide and CaoCao partnerships. Customers include logistics fleets (trunk, branch, urban distribution), public transit operators and government procurement (city buses), specialized industrial users (ports, mining, construction), and autonomous mobility operators (WeRide in Beijing, Guangzhou, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh; CaoCao across China and Hong Kong). Farizon was recognized in Q1 2026 as the top Chinese exporter of alternative energy commercial vehicles and has been shortlisted for the 2026 International Van of the Year award.
